Back a few months back – This Miata was painted chalkboard black and had a hand-drawing of “pedobear” on the hood, it shook the entire car community when the owner [matt] drove under a semi-truck while riding down Interstate 4 in Central Florida. Well since the bit of unexpected internet-fame – Matt decided it was time to tone it – down and focus on shows and living life [and enjoying it - instead of risking it]. Here it is – in it’s new form.

At SEMA you will find an assortment of modded cars that you will not see out in the wild; it is what makes this show so special. Some of the cars you find at the show will not be of your liking, but you have to admire the superb quality of each of these cars.

The maniac who put clear wheels and LEDs all over this R8 truly has a unique taste of his own. To top it off it was either painted chrome or actually polished. All in all it is quality work and it was quite the attraction at SEMA.

Above is someone taking shaved engine bays to a new level. The only thing the owner left visible was the H22 Honda Engine without a single spec of dirt on it.

This transformer above is what is known as a “Mosler MT900 GTR XX Twin Turbo Land Shark”. You can be certain to almost never see one out on the streets, but if you do consider yourself very lucky. The MT900 sports no less than 2500 HP from its V8. If you want to read more on this beast click here : Mosler MT900

Another big thanks to our photographer Shelbi Clark on the west coast for providing us with some more coverage. Stop by and check out her flickr –> Here

For those who aren’t sure what SEMA is, it’s the show of all shows. It’s held in Vegas every year, and it’s where every one comes out to play. This show is so big it takes a couple of days to see everything. It is a show everyone needs to attend once in their life, unfortunately it is not open to the public. With last year having over 50,000 buyers attending, you can be assured this year will be even bigger.

Luckily we had a friend living in Vegas that was just happening to attend the show. A big thanks from V2lab to Shelbi Clark for agreeing to shoot for us at the last moment; we are very grateful. You can see her work at –> Here

This car is a 350z body with many different body parts from cars, ranging from a s2k mugen lip to Porsche Panamera Taillights, sporting some VIP Modular wheels. You can truly admire the craftsmanship that took place to piece this car together.

Spotted was a beautiful Ksport 350z, sporting the KSport Orange that they are known for.

Sitting pretty was the infamous Minty Fresh 350z.

One of RWB’s American Debut cars sporting a super wide set of Rotiform’s. We can only hope we start seeing a bunch of these floating across the country.

It is quite hard to cover an event of this magnitude, so I the best way to experience it is to let the pictures speak for themselves. You can view the full gallery:

Yes, it finally happened! Here at Versiontwo Laboratory, we previously discussed and have been following the progress of the three major national drifting events effecting our local drivers. We had, last month, Formula Drift (FD / Formula D) in Atlanta, GA. Immediately following the same, Xtreme Drift Circuit (XDC) rocked the foundations of central Florida with a drifting show they had never seen before. Now, on this date, history was made when Formula D made its premier debut to its first Florida venue: Palm Beach International Raceway (PBIR)! We were excited to travel to South Florida to experience firsthand the remarkable finish by Team Falken Tire, in which drivers Pawluck, Gittin Jr., and D-Mac respectively nabbed the top three positions. During the periodical breaks, fans were given the opportunity to mingle with their favorite International driving heroes while also watching in wonder as new local stars were being born through the Pro-AM series program.

Tavern on the lake : Meet > Big parking lot in the back! NO SPEEDBUMPS! WOO!

The overflow lot – is not dirt anymore (google maps – didn’t update); there is tons of parking – but we mostly want to avoid the publix parking lot area to avoid any nonsense or unwanted attention.

YEAAAAAAAH BIG MEAT.

And for good measure I said this before and I’ll say it again ; this meet is for everyone! It’s 100% free to display your car and attend the meet! I don’t care if you drive a Honda Civic on 24′s or a bagged truck – EVERYONE is welcome!

Please no burn outs! No ricer sh!t! It’s an enclosed area – We don’t want anyone to get hurt!

Show up early! We’re expecting to fill the lots!

V2LAB Merchandise will be on sale at the event – including some new stuff !

This weekend hosted many amazing events for the automotive scene, however the monthly Cars & Cafe meet takes no breaks. Appearing the last Saturday of every month at the Route 46 Entertainment District in Sanford, FL, there was a sudden rash appearance of several Nissan GT-R’s, Acura NSX’s and Chevrolet ZR1′s. The weather began with a thick fog and light drizzle with the overcast but by early afternoon the sun did prevail. Are you sure we’re in a recession? Enjoy!
